Building a compact arcade stick

Unread post by silentheaven83 »

Hi everybody,

I already built an arcade stick with Sanwa part, Daemonbite board and one of those acrylic empty case that Amazon sells.
Now I'd like to build a more compact one, with 2-3 buttons, for 80s arcade and computers, something like the Quickjoy Megastar:

Does anyone know where I can find an empty small case?

Thanks

you could probably just drill out a generic project case I would recommend having at least 4 buttons and start for neo geo and genesis. Then again I created a joystick with a functional coin mech so going overboard is part of my nature.
